For a long stretch I cannot get going. Concentration/performance. So bad not playing would be less frustrating. Last few rounds have been frustrating and humiliating at best. I feel like throwing the towel but that’s not an answer or solution.
I might take up board games😂 Group hug needed
 
If you have been sober think about doing drugs, like all of them at the same time. Don’t sleep practice spot shots until you get a nose bleed. Watch dr. Dave videos until you have a seizure. Buy a different cue every other month. Never retreat never surrender,
 
Missing shots I should make costs me soooo many runouts.

Screwing up fairly easy stuff costs me soooo many runouts.

Being out of position by an inch or so costs me soooo many runouts.

This has been going on for over 20+ years.

Playing bad is one thing. Losing to a better player another. How about can’t run 2 hangers. Fk pool. May it drop dead.

A couple of things::

a) I do not mind losing to a better player or even a player who played better in that game/match.

b) when I say I don't care, that is the attitude and expression I expose to the audience and opponent. I actually do care, but I am composed enough not to show it.

c) when I do express care to the audience and opponent, I generally play worse than if I take the "don't care" approach.

You frustrate yourself. If that. Besides, if you want to play perfect, you have to prepare it that way; step by boring step.

My mindset gets lost. The need to concentrate on every shot. Having a problem recovering it. The feeling of being fired up. The desire to perform. To take my time and play ball. (Pool). Low Confidence

It tough always being in what I call THE ZONE, it is all mental IMHO.

Tune out everything, hard to do, but once you figure it out you will be in zone more then not.

In the zone. Fkn Twilght Zone past months. I feel like a musician that lost the notes. As I’m blowing sour notes and lost the edge. I know my level and what I’m capable of.. and short comings. Very realistic expectations.

Maybe I’ll go back to clubhouse pool. I’ll blend. I’ll fit right in.

Don't forget to make threads about which tip is best at least once a week, that usually gets you past a slump quicker than anything! 😂
